Trapped torsional vibrations in elastic plates [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Physics Letters, 2005
We report observation and analysis of trapped torsional vibrations in elastic plates. Each trapping element consists of a circular mesa machined in cast aluminum plate, with an electromagnetic acoustic transducer used to generate oscillatory surface traction. Suitably applied traction induced torsional vibrations trapped in the mesa.
